your best orange parfume

hello looking for orange as dominant theme in a parfume! i loved Maharanih intese a lot! casue it has beautiful sandalwood in the drydown....
but would like to know if i am missing something becasue did not try many orange parfumes....the only that i have is grapefruit from aqua allegoria pamplelune, but now i want something more natural and sophisticated

Re: your best orange parfume

I love orange, too, so I'll be looking at the responses with you, Iivanita.

My very favorite orange is Ozwald Boateng's Bespoke Orange. It is discontinued and impossible to find. I have about 1.5 ml in a decant that I am hanging on to because I love it so much I can't bear to part with it. Apparently, OB brought out this fragrance called Bespoke, and it had two fragrances - one side was Red, and the other was Orange. I loooove Orange.

I agree with Cacio; Concentre d'Orange Verte is one of my favorite scents. Also, Elixir des Merveilles by Hermes (an EDP) is quite lovely while a little heavier and more suited to cooler weather. But I would wear either year round. Love them both!

I send thee this sweet perfume a fragrance to the fragrant, as one would offer wine to the god of wine.

These aren't pure orange scents per se but feature an orange theme

Profumum Dulcis in Fundo has a wonderful sweet orange/mandarin topnote which is absolutely scrumptious, but the drydown is pretty much vanilla all the way, citrus topnotes are not known for their longevity

Anne Pliska is an amber which has an unusual and lovely spicy orange topnote,

Moschino Couture has a bright, almost fizzy orange layered over a woody-amber base

Lily maybe we have similar taste, i will try that killian but must say i could not resist and finally bought maharanih intense, it so natural orange smell without any hint of beeing citrusy perfume, this amazed me, so balanced bitter sweet combination

Hi iivanita!

I haven't sniffed it, but a fan base has been growing here for a Garner James orange cologne called Jupiter to Juno, which is actually the creation of basenotes member and frequent poster wooznib. I'm not sure how one goes about sampling or buying them other than to contact him directly, but from the kudos this fragrance has been getting, I'd say it would be well worth it to look him up, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan
